After praying, Ally and Jan Lee, and the whole family of Tessa paused in a moment. Everyone stared at Tessa and laughed when they saw her take a lot of broth from the casserole.
“Why?” Tessa looked around and frowned at them.
“Go on! We are just happy seeing you hungry,” Theresa replied, and everyone laughs at Tessa.
After seconds, Theresa turned to Ally and passionately looking at her.
“Ooh…dear. I am sorry, Ally. We did not visit your father for how many days because we are busy doing things around here. But I think this is the right time for us to go with you later when you go back so we could visit your father. Is that okay with you?” Theresa smiled and queried Ally.
Ally beamed at her and said, “Yes, that would be great. I am happy about that. Thank you so much for your concern for my father.”
“Yeah, we will be going together. But first of all, maybe you might want to go swimm
A few moments later, Jan Lee learned to drive the skiff boat. Terry was thrilled because his effort also resulted. He allowed Jan Lee to drive a few meters away. While Jan Lee was driving, Terry was pointing at him where to go. Long after his driving, Jan Lee was exhausted. He told Terry to take him to the shallow water to swim.“Why did they stop? What Jan Lee intended to do?” Tessa asked Ally.“I do not know. Let us asked them,” Ally replied.“Hey! Where will you go? And what will you going to do?” Tessa shouted at her brother.“Jan Lee said he wanted to rest. He wanted to go to the shallow water,” Terry responded to her sister.“Exactly, that is a good idea in taking him here to us. It is just shallow in here wherein we stand right now. It is good to let him her so that we could talk and play with him,” Tessa said with a smile on Terry.“Yes, I will bring him to you. Look a
“Hey, are you alright? It is deep in here. I told you already, I cannot swim. Are you sure you can rescue me if I drown? And your hands are on my neck. How can I move easily?” Jan Lee said while his hands are holding the waist of Ally, somehow teasing her for any possibilities.“Yes, I am okay. Be careful not to take further steps. We do not know there is a deep there. The water had passed on my head already, so I had to hold you,” Ally replied with her arms around his neck.“Oh, no Ally, your face is drawing nearer to my face,” Jan Lee felt nervous as he was looking at her lips.“I told you a while ago that I do not bite,” Ally smiled at him.“Yeah, but look, somebody could watch us here, Ally,” Jan Lee looks around and feels worried somebody could spot them.“Hahaha! Are you afraid of me? Have not you felt something that I am in your front right now?” Ally looks into his eyes
“Of course, I will not let you go,” Ally claimed.After hearing her response, Jan Lee smiled and followed the parents of Tessa to the house. As they entered the house, they immediately smelled the cooked food. Tessa and Terry were chasing into the kitchen because they were chasing who would sit near the dish.“Look at your children. It seems they did not eat in one day,” Jerry jokes with his wife while approaching the table.“Let them go. This is the only time your kids act like that. They are just missing each other,” Theresa responds to her husband and crossed her right arm at his shoulder.“Wow, thank you. The food was ready at the table,” Ally was impressed with the goodness of the couple when she saw the food on the table.“We are glad when you are here. We keep busy preparing for this because we want to take care of you. We want to give what we could give for you because you are special to
“Hey, what is going on? Why are they here?” Nina curiously asked Jim Han.Jim Han said in his mind, “Oh, no! Brother, what are you doing here? Why are you with Ally? Is there something between you and her?” Then he scratches his head and stammers, “Um, uh, he is my twin brother. I do not know why he is here. This is the first time I saw him coming out of the house. I think he is having a vacation.” Jim Han reasoned out.“Then, who are those girls with him? That one girl he hugged, is she, his girlfriend? Why does she look like that? It seems she is angry with us,” Nina complained.This time Jim Han was struggling with what to answer. He was afraid Nina would know about him and Ally. He gently pulled her arm and invited Nina to get into the car so they could leave and escape that trouble. But Nina stops him and holds his arm, and continues asking him.“Would you not talk to your brother? You met here, a
"Really? But I don't see you talk much. Tell me, is there something wrong?" Nina inquired him."Um! No. It is okay. We had talk something between us," Jim Han claimed."Hmm, what about the girl? Did you asked your twin brother why she was crying?" she asked curiously."Don't bother about it. That girl was Jan Lee's friend. Maybe they argued about their trip," Jim Han turned to the other side. "Come on, can we go now to the car? I need to take you home so that you can take your rest," then, Jim Han opens the door.Jim Han could not stop thinking of what had happened at the gas station. He always saw Ally in his mind. What's more, Jim Han wondered why his brother and Ally were together on that occasion. He felt like a lot was going on while he was not in their house. Jim Han also thought Ally had changed a lot, especially since his trip. He speeded the vehicle to get home immediately. He wanted to go home soon, not because of seeing his parents and other si
After getting all his stuff from his car, Jim Han goes to his bed and lay. He remembers all his joyous experiences during his trip with Nina but some things bothered in his mind. Although, feeling tired because of his long road trip. Still, Jim Han was unable to resist thinking about Ally. He wanted to sleep, but his suspicions and regrets kept waking him up. He felt uncomfortable knowing that Jan Lee was not in their house and there with Ally."Urgh! What is this I feel? What have I done? I let the girl whom I love to my brother. I know this is my fault, but why my brother? Of all the guys who could overtake me, why you?" Jim shook his head and grasped with his hands.He couldn't bear to think. He immediately stood up and walked around the corners of his bedroom. Then he stops and sits on the corner. He looks straight at the wall and panting."What shall I do now? Shall I go to the hospital and talked to my brother? Or talks with Ally and says sorry for what I
"Hey, are you not happy that your father will be out of the hospital?" Jan Lee sat beside Ally.Ally did not answer and sat quietly. After seconds, she could not hold anymore. She cried and turned to the side."Do you think I should be happy now? Yes, I know my father will be out here tomorrow. But I knew there was somebody else who would go too and wouldn't show me anymore. My friend had left already, and who else do you think?" then Ally continued sobbing.Jan Lee felt that Ally still hadn't lost her mind about what had happened at the gasoline station. He didn't know what to do, so he just kept quiet."If only Tessa had been here, she would have helped Ally in this situation. But she just had to leave with her parents. I can't do anything about it. What else can I do? I also felt troubled," Jan Lee told himself.Jan Lee recalled that he told Ally before he wouldn't show anymore if her father got out of the hospital. He never thought Tessa would
Jim Han shook his head and smirked. Then, he turned to the other side and breathe deeply as he closed his eyes. Jim Han remembered his comments about Ally before and told Jan Lee about it. He felt sorry for the man he had told his criticism about Ally was the one confronting him that night. He closes his fist as if showing his anger, but deep in his mind, he realizes his mistakes.He turned to Jan Lee and said, "I don't seem to have anything to say now because I know that you know I have said something about her before, didn't I? I've even mentioned that I could get bored of her frequently because her stories were just a lot of problems. I criticized her and made lots of comments to her. And I am not used to hearing that. But now, I can't hide from you because you know what I'm doing and who I am. You know where I go sometimes. And you also know who I'm with from time to time. You know me well, brother," then Jim Han stared at him."Just tell me you don't love her," Ja
